<p>They are nearly the same in selectivity…
Though UMN is trying to change their rankings and become much more selective than last year (lower tuition for 08-09 is great, for out states UMN costs 8k less than PSU and 7k less than itself last year)…But it seems that every college is becoming more and more selective.
So I think these three Us may be equal in next few years: less selective than NU, UMich, UWisc, UIUC, but more than Purdue, IU, UIowa and MSU.</p>
